Install Altera Quartus 12.1 in Ubuntu 12.04

Usually when make no progress in solving problems in study, I may play games like League of Legends or Age of Empires. The total time spent on those things in the past few months is so much. Therefore I use Ubuntu 12.04 instead of Windows 7 as often as possible to reduce the opportunity to touch the games. Here record the steps needed for installing Altera Quartus 12.1.

The installer will ask locations twice. The first one is the location of the files used by the installer, whose folder can be removed after the installation, and the other is the destination. The device file is similar, but the destination must be the same as the previous one.

After finishing the installation, it is time to set the USB-Blaster. Create a file at /etc/udev/rules.d/ called 51-usbblaster.rules. Copy the following, paste, and save.

Thanks for the tutorial,
I tried this on Mint Nadia 14 64bit laptop with ATTRS instead of ATTR and it worked until I restarted. On restart I found that my keyboard and trackpad no longer work at the log in screen. I’ve posted the issue on the Mint forums:

That implies that there is still a format error in the file. It’s most unfortunate that it breaks the ability to log on.
One thing that’s not obvious from the description above is that the setting (from SUBSYSTEM= to the final %c”) needs to be all on one line – I guess it appears above as multiple lines because this blog software is auto-wrapping?
I was able to edit the file by using the recovery boot option in grub (hold the space key down while rebooting).
